Spring is almost upon us

and it's that time of year to start working on the allotment again.

I went down to the plot this weekend and pulled all the Leeks.

I'd initially planted 20 but five didn't grow. The remaining crop did pretty well though, and they tasted good in the Potato and Leek soup I made yesterday.

I started off some Sweet Corn (Sweet Bounty F1) in a propagator today, as well as some Leek (Musselburgh). I've also got Dwarf Runner Bean (Flamenco) to start in April.

I'll be planting Onion sets (Sturon) next weekend and maybe Beetroot (Boltardy) too.

I'd like to harvest the Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli soon, hopefully the new netting I bought on Saturday will keep those pesky Pigeons off.
